Late and Deep (2011) Devin Horan

Dark north. Clarity upon waking. Beneath an expanse of sky, a night of flesh absorbed in fever. Horan, 28, said Late and Deep is his second film, and also the second installment in what I have planned as a tetralogy of existentialphilosophical film fragments. The first film, Boundary, was made in 2009, shot in Latvia near the Russian border, and has played all over Europe and in Asia. Horan said the films take as their guiding principle a statement made by the existentialist writer Sadeq Hedayat, In life it is possible to become angelic, human, or animal. I have become none of these things. I describe these films as psychogeographies, obscure philosophical explorations of states of alienation, craving, and release.
